Russell Martin was given two key remits when he was appointed as Swansea City boss.
“When it became clear we would be looking for a new head coach, at the forefront of our thoughts was finding a candidate who was ambitious, driven and with a clear vision of how he wants the team to play," said chief executive Julian Winter last summer.
“We were also seeking someone with a passion for working with and developing young players. Russell ticks all those boxes."
